The SuI,an Mt PRAYER,

The sultan stands erect with his face
to the east and his feet on his praying
carpet, and placing tho thumbs of each
hand under each car, he spreads his
hands like wings, lifting his ears up
wards as il TO catch any sound from
heaven, and with his hands in this po-
sition must turn first to the right and
spit, then to the left and then dropping
his hands to his side hold them rigid
while he bends his knee and then his
whole body forward from his knees uu-
til his forehead touches the floor three
times. He repeats his prayer in this
position, and gets upon his feet again
without touching his hands to the floor,
and again makes wings of his ears and
again spits right and left and his prayer
is over. Every Turk believes that he
has two attendants spirits, one good and
one evil, and Us he is not sure which
side the emissary of satan has pre-
emptcd he spits at both to make sure.

Magnetism and Morphology.

Some experiments have been placed
on record, says the London Electrician,
in which number of eggs were Matched
out in magnetic field, with the result
that the chickens were all more or less
deformed; blind deaf or lame. A biolo-
gist at Manchester, in course of conver-
sation, told us that he had several times
tried to repeat the experiment, but with
the result that the eggs was always ad-
died. Without protesting to eXpound
the physiological or morphological rea-
sons for these singular results, it is at
least permissible to suppose that the
movements of the protoplasmic sub
stance in the magnetic field set up cur
rents Of electricity, which tend to decom-
pose the delicate organic structures of
the egg 50 as to destroy or vitate its vi
tality.

RObber Routed By a Girl.

New York Telegram: 1t was giddy,
gushing girl from New York, with an
amplitude of bang and scarceness of
vocabulary which showed ut once her
romantic tendencies. She was travelling
IN stage coach in one Of the sparsely
settled regions of the country. "Ohl"
che said to her mother, Il do wonder
whether we are going to make this
whole trip without even the sign OF an
adventure. Wouldn't it be horrid?"
Her mother informed her that she
didn't have much common sense, but
the girl didn't seem to mind it in the
least. In the course of the next hour,
however, the coach stopped suddenly
and the muzzle OF pistol was showed
through the door.
"Sorry to trouble you, ladies, said
the man whose head followed the pistol
"but If u'veygot any valuables, them s

The Earliest Likeness of Julius
CNsar.

We may. I think, consider the togs
statue OF Caesar in the Museum at Berlir
(No. 295. Roman Room), ss the earles'
of all his likenesses. 1t is a beautiful
statue and has always been much ad.
mired. Caesar is represented in the atti.
tude of au orator. with his right hand
extended. The head is well covered
with hair, and the whole appearance is
that of man not over thity.five years
of age.
Perhaps the next likeness in order OF
time is the bust numbered lO7 in the
Museo Chiaramonti, in the Vatican Mus.
cum, at Rome. This is we'll worth a
careful examination. Tie features are
perfect; tho workmanship excellent; the
expression so calm, penetrating, serious
aud determined, is characteristic of all
the bsst ikenesses of Cesar. This bust
is also noteworthy for showing very
clearly mark by which one can gener.
ally recognize the authentic busts oi
Caesar, namely, scar, or furrow, on the
left side of the face, caused, perhaps, by
some wound, or by some fistula which
had healed, or by the removal of one or
more teeth. In this bust this peculiar
feature is given with great exactness. In
ome busts it is passed over very lightly,
but it is, think, always indicated. To
the toga statue Of Berlin. which we first
mentioned, it is clearly shown.-[Scrib-

1t is rather sad to perceive how com
pletely some European observers mistake
and misinterpret the Indian people on
the question of their religion. They
style them ''idolators"-imagine that
Hindus attribute divine qualities to the
uncouth figures. the red stones. the lin.
gains, carved snakes, and grim Bhowanis
which they worship. Because they find
Mahadeo adored in one place, Gunpati
in another, Kali elsewhere, and trees,
rivers and cows objects of prayer. they
suppose the Hindus, one and all, are
poly theists. Yet it would be almost as
unjust to ascribe polytheism to London.

Even the poor peasant of the fields, and
the gentle Hindu wife, perambulating a
peepul.tree smeared with red, will tell
you that the symbol they reverence is
only symbol. There is hardly one OF

commonplace of Vedantism. "Every

pertinacity. The manner in which she
secured General Grants is interesting.
The General was at the time sick with
the disease that resulted in bis death;
but, nothing daunted, Miss Bond called
at his residence, sent in her card, and
obtained an interview with the General 3
wife. Miss Bond impressed Mrs. Grant
so favorably that when she brought out
her album and said: "Do you think the
General would add his name to my col.
lection" the latter replied that she
would see, and went upstairs. On re.
turning, Mrs. Grant said: II told the
General Of your pleasant call, and he
took the album, and, glancing over it,
read the few lines written by little boy
five years old, as follows:
"And me. foo. wish In your album to appear,
And do excuse my funny letters, cousin

Dairying in Fresno County.

One of the most neglected of Fresno
county's industries is dairying. While
our irrigated lands produce abundantly
alfalfa and nutritious grasses. and cows
can be furnished, consequently, with
green feed the entire year round, thus
insuring an abundance of rich milk,
there has never been a time when as
much butter has been made as would
supply the home market, and the result
is that thousands Of dollars are annually
sent out of the county to pay for butter.
much of which is only butter in name.
But we look for change in this partic.
ular soon, and as starter toward the
new order of things we are pleased to
note that John Cereni, an experienced
dairyman. who formerly resided in SO.
nema connty, recently rented the old
"Worthy Place, in the Liberty settle.
ment, and has commenced the business
of dairying on an extensive scale. He
Is now milking about sixty cows and
hopes in the course of few weeks to
increase the number to 100 head. He
has purchased eighty acres of land from
Captain Cottlo and will plant it to
alfalfa, and thus insure for himself
abundant pasture. Mr.. Cereni is pcs.
seesed of abundant faith in the enter.
prise and, having ample experience, is

The stone Images OF Easter
Uslamds

| j strange memento OF an unknown
race is the gigantic stone image upoI
K lster Island. now ON the way to thu
Smithsonian Institution. This lonely
isle OF the Pacific is of volcanic origin
and is but eleven miles loug and 81,
broad, ahd, from its solitary situation, il
seldom visited. The natives, but few II
number, are of tho Polynesian race, ant
we're orig nalIy exceedingly hostile te
the few whites who visited them. Blu
within the past twenty-five years they
have embraced Christianity under the
influence of French missionaries. The
island is owned by Tahiti firm, who
utalizes its fertile valleys for cattle rails
ing. The remarkable features which
distinguish it from other solitary islands
are the huge stone statues, to the num-
Der of several hundreds, which lie scat.
tered about. They were chiseled with
rude skill from the lava in the cratcrs OF
extinct VOLCANOES and transported to all
parts of the island, where they were set
up, but most of them have since been
overthrown by earthquake shocks.
Some of these statues are forty feet in
height, and some stiil remain unfinished
in their quarries. Nothing is known ef
their origin. The present inhabitants
possess neither the skill nor the tools
for the work. and have no appliances for
Transporting such immense masses of
stone. Their traditions furnish no infor.
nation, as they merely ascribe a super.
natural origin. The statues are all gro
tesque efiges of human beings, and
while hey are low in the scale OF art
they are evidently the work of race
centuries in advance of the present
inhabitants. A theory has been ad.
vanced that Easter Island il the rem
nant of submerged continent and that
the statues were made by a people who
worshiped them as idols. But this is
only theory, without particle of evil
dence to sustain it. The statue for the
Smithsonian Institution is now on board
the United States steamer Mohicap,
which was at last accounts at Valparaiso.
1t weighs between twelve and fifteen
tons and It was with great difficulty that
it was placed on board the vessel, as the
island has no good harbors, and although
the image had to be transported over.
land about eight miles, there was not q
tree to furnish the material. The Mo-
hican finally obtained q few logs at
Samoa. with which the work was accom-
plishtd. This is the second monster
curio which has been taken away from
Etster Island--a German vessel having
secured one about two years ago. When
it finds permanent place here our puz.

clear away the mystery of its origin by
